The fair held in the Odd Fellows
building by the Episcopal ladies came to

sales at the various booths, ice cream
and refreshment tables, ETC., amounted
to about $500, and the net proceeds will
be handsome addition to the treasury
of the society. The attendance last eve

of by many. Several drawings took

The generosity with which the
good people of Eagle Lake and Lake
Crystal received the DAILY FREE PRESS
solicitor is appreciated, and lead us to
remark that the people of Southern
Minnesota know good paper when
they see it, Our daily list is growing
beyond expectation, and the publishers
feel fiattered at the prospect of success
Nothing shall be lacking on our part to
make the paper worthy the generous
patronage it is receiving.
The assertion of the Journal thai
parties who rented offices in the ODD
Fellows building are "simply left be
cause the HolbroOk House did not ma
terialize, is simply" not true. Parties
who will occupy these offices leased then
regardless of the hotel project, and while
they, as well as all other citizens, would
have been pleased to see the building
go up, still the location will prove ex
ceptionally good for every business rep
resented. And besides this, it is not al
together certain that hotel will not be
erected on the corner of Second anG
Jackson streets. There seems to exis
very strong disposition on the part o
a few of our monied men to form syn
dictate and build tirst-class hotel.
From the Mankato FREE PRESS W,
learn that the Holbrook hotel proiec
has fallen through, and further that Bur
will not build an addition to the Man
kato House. From the amount of tall
used and expended We supposed tina
Mankato would have two palace hotels
| 1t would seem, too, that the Mankat'
boom was done on the wind and waite
plan. Come down, gentlemen, and fill
yourselves at first-class house. Tn
Nicollet for instance.
Our good friends of the st. Peter Her
aid are laboring under mistaken ide
when they say at would seem, too, tina
| the MankatO boom was done on tn
wind and water plan" In the firs
place MankatO has no desire to pas
through "bOom" i'm the literal con
struction of that word, because We wan
no one TO pay more for property than
can afterward be sold for. We do, how
ever, want strangers seeking after SAT
investments to stop here and look owe
what exceptional bargains are Offered
Many have already done this, and eac
day witnesses an increase of real estat
transfers at gradually advancing figure
As regards the hotel project, every wor
said on this point was from the stronget
assurance that the building would b
erected, and while we are not over-col
fident that Mankato will have a palati
, hotel this year, yet we are frank to IS
: that there is more than reasOnab
prospect that such will be the case. l.
our good brethren compose themsely
until assurance is doubly sure" tn
| Mankato is not going to have at least OF
, "palace hotel" We have a new bit
, and it mayhap prove a genuine haul.
